Voting systems are hard because most democracies expect ballots to be confidential. Is there a blockchain-based voting system that allows a voter to have high confidence that their vote was counted, but doesn't allow someone else to be able to know how that voter voted?

- elihu 9y agoThat's not a blockchain solution, though. It's using paper ballots plus some additional cryptography.
